Men's Soccer Falls to Loyola Maryland, 3-0

BROOKLINE, Mass. – The Boston University men's soccer team came up short to Loyola Maryland, 3-0, on Saturday afternoon at Northeastern's Parsons Field.

The Greyhounds (4-3-2, 2-1-0 PL) struck early in the 18th minute and prevented any chance of a rally with two second-half goals to hand the Terriers (1-7-1, 1-3-0 PL) their largest margin of defeat this season.

"Today, we got what we deserved," said head coach Kevin Nylen. "We got beat by a team who has a winning mentality and wanted to win. We lost before the game even started."

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After BU earned a free kick outside the box on the left side of the field, junior Quinn Matulis curled a dangerous ball at the far post, but the Terriers were unable to make the connection in the seventh minute.
  • BU cleared the Greyhounds' first corner five minutes later and pushed the ball up the field to set up a hard shot from Matulis that was blocked.
  • Loyola took the lead for good at 17:24 when Justin Ingram brought the ball toward the goal line and sent a short cross past junior goalkeeper Francesco Montali for the easy tap in by Kelan Swales. 
  • The Terriers nearly tied the game at 21:32 when freshman Brian Hernandez sent a low shot just inches wide of the right post following a strong run into the box by senior Gianluca Arlotti.
  • Graduate student Peter Kargbo had the last quality look in the half at 44:12 with a header that went wide off a cross, as the Greyhounds entered the locker room with a one-goal advantage.
  • Loyola Maryland came out attacking in the second half with a 46th minute corner and missed header.
  • The Terriers' backline made a save at 56:42, and Montali added another at 57:31 to keep the game, 1-0.
  • The Greyhounds cleared back-to-back BU corners in the 63rd minute.
  • Jake Sweeney put the game away by setting up Jake Mayer for a 15-yard strike at 68:50.
  • Ingram added the third goal by pouncing on a loose ball at the top of BU's box in the 88th minute.
GAME NOTES
  • Arlotti and Hernandez both led BU with two shots apiece. 
  • Loyola recorded a 13-6 advantage in shots and 8-3 lead in corner kicks.
  • The Greyhounds moved to 5-3-3 all-time in the series with their fourth straight win.
  • The Terriers hosted the game at Parsons Field due to BU's Class of 2020 Commencement ceremonies being moved outdoors to NIckerson Field.
UP NEXT
  • The Terriers will make the short trek over to Harvard on Tuesday (Oct. 5) for a 7 p.m. start time in a non-conference matchup.
  • The home team has won each of the last five meetings with BU claiming a 2-0 win in 2019 and Harvard escaping in OT in 2018, 2-1.
